Who will make it in the Rapture

God values qualities like love, righteousness, godliness, mercy, kindness, a repentive heart, compassion, justice, humility, faithfulness, obedience, integrity, forgiveness, and a genuine desire to follow His teachings; essentially, living a life that reflects the principles of goodness and righteousness as outlined in the scriptures. He wants a relationship with each of his children through prayer, praise, worship, and reading his word.

Scriptures of What God Wants from His Children (All from KJV)

2 Tim 2:21-26

21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Titus 1:8

8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate

Titus 2:2-5

2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Mark 12:29-31

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Revelation 2:10

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

John 14:15

15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

James 4:6

6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Ephesians 4:32

32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Proverbs 12:22

22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.

2 Corinthians 9:7

7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Who Won’t make it in the Rapture

The Lord hates: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil (mischief), a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict (sowing discord) in the community, envy, greed, pride, wrath, sloth, gluttony, with sins of omission or commission, abortion, not acknowledging one’s sins, afraid (or ashamed) to confess Jesus to others. We can sin through our thoughts, our words, and our deeds. He expects you to forgive anyone that has done you wrong.

Matthew 6:15

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

2 Tim 3:1-7

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Rom 1:18, 21-32

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Rom 1:18

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

1 John 3:6-10

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Rom 10:3

3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Titus 3:3

3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

Jude 1:7

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

James 1:15

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

 Luke 5:32

I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Revelation 19:20

20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Sin & What the Bible Says:

Sin can be described in the Bible as transgression of the law of God and rebellion against God. Sin had its beginning with Lucifer, the most beautiful and powerful of the angels. He was not content with his position and desired to be higher than God. That was his downfall, the beginning of sin. Lucifer was renamed Satan and he brought sin to the human race in the Garden of Eden, where he tempted Adam and Eve. Since that time, sin has been passed down through all the generations of mankind. Adam’s descendants have inherited sin from him. Through Adam, sin entered the world; so death was passed on to all men because “For the wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23)

“Sin” is considered a deliberate act that is against God’s laws, resulting from free will. Sin is the violation of moral standards set by God. Individuals who choose actions that deviate from what is considered morally right are in sin. Sin exists because it allows for God’s children to consider what is morally right and gives us a choice to align with the divine principles God that has been set out for us or to stay in opposition to the eternal law of God. Each individual chooses which Kingdom they belong to by their deeds, hate, love, lusts, pride, etc.

Thus, sin requires redemption and atonement, in which the death of Jesus is the price that is paid to release the faithful from the bondage of sin. Through repentance and staying away from sin this can be accomplished.

The root cause of sin is selfishness. When one loves themselves more than anything else we fall into sin because our first priority is making ourselves happy at any cost. In Matthew 22:36-40, Jesus explains the two greatest commandments, which are: Love God above all else, and Love your neighbor as yourself.

Through Repentance, sins can be forgiven, by the gift Jesus gave us through his death on the cross. Jesus being the perfect sacrifice for our sins, was put to death so we would have the ability to repent and ask for forgiveness of our sins. He died for each and every one of us and took on the burden of OUR sins. Through repentance our soul can be saved and have everlasting life. If we die being of the flesh (in sins) we will belong to satan. If we die (living in the spirit) having repented, we will belong to Jesus/ to God.

1 John 1:8-10

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Mark 7:20-23

20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

1 Corinthians 10:13

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Galatians 5:19-24

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

John 8:34

34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

Romans 1:23-32

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Proverbs 28:13

13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Hebrews 10:26

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.

The Ten Commandments are:

  1. You shall have no other gods before me
  2. You shall not make for yourselves an idol
  3. You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God
  4. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy
  5. Honor your father and your mother
  6. You shall not murder
  7. You shall not commit adultery
  8. You shall not steal
  9. You shall not give false testimony
  10. You shall not covet

Always remember that God loves you and wants you to be with him in Heaven. Sometimes his love is so great that he knows what you need so that you will get closer to him. You may not understand why things happen in the world, but he has a plan and wants you to be part of it.

None are perfect and hence we must repent whenever we have entered into sin and then stay away from repeating those same errors. Most know innately what is considered right and what is wrong. It is their choice to indulge in sin or to stay in righteousness. Two Kingdoms, two different results, two choices that can be made for the Great I Am or for the sinful kingdom of satan.

Doors are opened to demonic entities when you sin. It gives entrance into your body for demons to live within. Sins become the portals for entrance into a person.
